Emmanuel Worship Center Seventh-day Adventist Church

We explore what we're doing with the gifts, influence, testimony, resources, and opportunities God has placed in our hands.

Pastor Ontkean Maynard will challenge us to stop burying our talents and start using them to make a difference and build God's kingdom.

Inspired by the parable of the talents. We discover how every gift and act of service can help fulfill our mission to fill this house.

In the 90’s it was all about the House Parties. We will dig into the spiritual house party described in Acts 2:40-42, where lives were transformed, broken people found purpose, strangers became family, and faith exploded.

We explore how God's movement was built around power rather than hype. We invite you to experience this renewal, restoration, and revival at Emmanuel Worship Center.

🚨 THE FIELDS ARE FULL… BUT THE CHURCHES ARE EMPTY 🚨

This Sabbath we are gathering for a powerful message about evangelism, discipleship, and the mission of the church in this generation.

The harvest is still plentiful.
People are still searching.
Communities are still hungry for hope.
So why are the fields full… but the churches empty?

Join us for a challenging and honest message that will push us beyond comfort and back into mission.

🗓 Sabbath, May 23
⏰ Evangelism Strategy Meeting — The Fill This House Edition will take place after service.
⏰ Working Lunch in The Mission House
This is more than a meeting.

📍Emmanuel Worship Center, 8145 Richmond Highway, Alexandria, VA 22309
It’s a call to action.
Come ready to think. Come ready to pray. Come ready to build.

Family… I’m really excited about these next two Sabbath’s at Emmanuel Worship Center because I believe God is positioning us for deeper conversations, greater unity, and intentional evangelism. 🙏🏾🔥

📍 May 16 — “Bridge Over Troubled Adventism Waters”

One of the greatest challenges impacting the filling of God’s House is the growing tension between generations within the church. The battle of generations is impacting the filling of God’s House.

How do we honor legacy while still reaching the future?
How do we preserve truth without pushing people away?
How do we not become a barrier?

We’re going there. Because the key to our success is understanding the very bridge we are standing on is Christ. And Jesus is calling us to stop building walls and walk freely on Him (The bridge). ✨

📍 May 23 — “Fields Full…. Churches Empty”

This message is a call to Revival, Restoration, and Return. 🌾🏠

The harvest is still ripe.
People are still searching.
Hearts are still hurting.

Yet too many churches have become comfortable watching empty seats while the fields remain full.

After church, we will gather for a working lunch where we will strategically discuss the different parts of Alexandria we are called to minister in and how we can intentionally engage our community with the love and message of Christ. ❤️

“Fill This House” is bigger than a slogan. It is an assignment.

Filling this House is God’s Work.
Proclaiming God’s Word is our Work. 📖🔥

Let’s build.
Let’s reach.
Let’s work together for the Kingdom. 👏🏾
